Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TL-SG1016 managed or unmanaged?
The TL-SG1016 is an unmanaged switch — it requires no configuration and is ready to use straight out of the box. Simply connect your devices and it handles the rest automatically.
Does it support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
No, the TL-SG1016 does not support PoE. If you need to power IP cameras or access points directly from the switch, consider a TP-Link PoE switch from our range.
Is it suitable for IP CCTV installations?
Yes. The TL-SG1016 is well-suited to IP camera networks, providing full Gigabit throughput on all 16 ports and a clean rack-mount form factor for professional installations.
What rack size does it fit?
The TL-SG1016 fits a standard 19-inch equipment rack and occupies 1U of rack space.
Does it support jumbo frames?
Yes, jumbo frames up to 10KB are supported, which can improve throughput efficiency for large data transfers on your network.
Is QoS supported on all versions?
802.1p/DSCP QoS is supported on V12 and later hardware versions of the TL-SG1016.
